開始春訓了~ 隨手找篇外電翻這篇是比較樂觀的會讓我們洛磯迷看的比較爽XDD 大家隨便看看吧!! ROX GOGOGO http://0rz.tw/ypfG6 Colorado Rockies: Why the Rox Could Be the Surprise Team out of the NL West By David A. Cucchiara(Featured Columnist) on February 20, 2013 : The Los Angeles Dodgers and World Series Champion San Francisco Giants have : taken up most of the spotlight this offseason, deservedly so, but it’s the : Colorado Rockies that could surprise baseball in 2013. 去年世界大賽冠軍巨人隊、與道奇隊在休季期間佔盡版面，但洛磯今年也可能有驚奇表現 : Injuries to key players and consistently poor starting pitching shattered the : Rockies' hopes and expectations for the 2012 season. Competing in a division : that consisted of just one playoff-bound team, the Rox stringed together a : 98-loss season and the third-worst record in the majors. 去年表現不好的原因: (1) 主力受傷 (2)先發投手太爛 : With the Giants, Dodgers and Diamondbacks coming off active offseasons, it’s : going to prove difficult for the Rockies to compete in the NL West. 國西其他四隊來勢洶洶，洛磯看來不大妙 : But they can get it done. 但他們可以有所作為 : The Rockies had two glaring problems last year: They couldn’t pitch and they : couldn’t field. The team ended with the worst team ERA in baseball at 5.22 : and the most committed errors with 122, despite an offense that managed 758 : runs. 去年的投手ERA(5.22)跟失誤數(122)都是聯盟最差　(囧) : The Rockies had 14 different pitchers starting games for them last season. : They had absolutely no stability in the rotation. Jeff Francis, who went 6-7 : with a 5.58 ERA, led the team with just 24 games started. 還記得去年先發變了又變，還搞出4人輪值、限制用球數的鳥樣嗎? 先發最多場的Francis 也只先發了24場 : This season, the Rockies will have a set rotation and stability, pending : everyone stays healthy. 不過本季，洛磯的輪值將更加穩固，只要全部投手健康 (好大的假設) : The rotation begins with 25-year-old Jhoulys Chacin, who spent most of 2012 : bouncing between the rotation and the DL. Chacin recently agreed to a : two-year/ $6.5 million deal with the Rockies and is poised to be the ace of : the rotation. Chacin shared success with catcher Wilin Rosario last season. : The battery combined for a 3.02 ERA in 11 starts. 剛簽下兩年約的Chacin，是今年王牌，他跟Rosario搭配時ERA只有3.02，期待今年的爆發 : If Chacin can keep his heath in check, he could give the Rockies 30 quality : starts this season. : Another pitcher who has the chance to be the catalyst behind this rotation is : Jorge De La Rosa. De La Rosa underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2011 and : had three poor starts towards the end of last season. 另一個關鍵SP是JDLR，去年季末三場糟糕的先發，能不能找回往日雄風呢? : The 31-year-old Mexico native was the Rockies’ best pitcher in 2011 before : injuring his elbow. If De La Rosa can return to form, he could be a major : contributor to the success of this rotation. : The biggest component towards the potential success of this Rockies rotation : has to be their new pitching coach, Jim Wright. Wright took over for Bob : Apodaca after it became rather obvious Rockies pitching was in jeopardy. Jim Wright取代Apodaca成為洛磯投教 : Wright served as the Rockies’ bullpen coach from 2008 to 2011. In the : hitter-friendly Coors Field, Wright’s pen recorded sub-four ERAs in 2010 and : 2011. Wright是牛棚教練扶正 : Jim Wright in combination with a healthy, experienced rotation should greatly : improve last season’s 5.22 team ERA. 新的投教希望能帶來新氣象 : On top of the new pitching philosophy comes a rejuvenated lineup. A healthy : Troy Tulowitzki will be integrated into a lineup that ranked No. 6 in : baseball last season in runs. 去年聯盟得分第六，今年Tulo回歸，能得多少分呢? : The face of the franchise, Todd Helton, will also be returning off injury in : what’s likely to be his final season. 大叔也回來了，這也許是他的最後一季 (不過還是不能酒駕啊 = = )　 : Michael Cuddyer, who joined the long list of Rockies on the DL in August, : will also be returning at full strength. Cuddyer should add at least 20 home : runs and 80 RBI to this already formidable offense. 去年8月進DL的Cuddyer，預期他今年可以有20HR、80 RBI的貢獻 : With a healthy starting lineup in place for the Rockies, where will Tyler : Colvin find his niche? : Colvin was one of the most productive Rockies offensively in 2012. The : 27-year-old posted an unprecedented .290 average with 18 home runs and 72 RBI : filling in for Cuddyer and Helton last season. : This season, Colvin will provide first-year manager Walt Weiss with a viable : option off the bench, allowing Helton and Cuddyer significant rest to : maintain their health throughout the season. 至於去年表現不俗的Colvin，會成為板凳上好用的活棋，可以替補1B/OF，讓老將Helton 與Cuddyer獲得足夠的休息 : Fielding is the final and most likely the toughest component for this : franchise to fix. Sure, players like Helton and Cuddyer will certainly help : the percentage, but it’s not an easy fix. 守備問題該怎麼解決? 會是總教練Weiss在春訓時最煩惱的事情之一 : Weiss should spend a significant portion of spring training concentrating on : fielding. From starters to utility men, rookies to veterans, each player : should get their reps at their respective positions. : Specifically, third base had the most errors in 2012. With Chris Nelson and : Jordan Pacheco likely splitting time at the position in 2013, Weiss should : make sure they’re up to par with the glove. 去年3B守備失誤最多，今年Nelson跟Pacheco預計將分擔三壘這個位置，守備如何值得觀察 : If the Rockies can stay healthy through the entirety of 2013, they could be a : "serious threat to the Dodgers and World Series Champion Giants in the NL West. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.249.214.110 ※ 編輯: ygjhsu 來自: 111.249.214.110 (02/28 21:53)
